Things to See & Do

Think Pemberton, think Karri Forest - THINK AGAIN. While the Karri forest may be the backdrop, Pemberton offers great diversity within a very small area.

This page is full of ideas for things to do and see on your holiday. You can also find more detailed information on many of these activities, tours and special places available using the thumbnails to the right or the table list at the bottom of this page.

Swimming and Picnics at Big Brook DamSafe swimming and a magnificent setting can be found at Big Brook Dam located 5 minutes from town. The dam is surrounded by Karri forest and there is a sandy beach area which is great for swimming. BBQ facilities, tables and toilets are there and if you are feeling energetic you can do the 4km walk around the dam.

Pemberton Pool

The Pemberton Pool is a great venue to relax amongst the Karri Trees. Located within the town boundary it is just a short drive (or walk) from the Visitor Centre. The Pemberton Mountain Bike Park trailhead is located at the Pemberton Pool, so be sure to take your mountain bike and enjoy this great facilitiy. Walking trails through the forest are also accessible from here. Bike hire is available from the Pemberton Discovery Shop, Brockman Street Pemberton, this includes panniers for going on the Munda Biddi Trail

...and for the One That Can't Get Away

Pemberton's cool climate and abundant fresh water make it ideal for raising trout and marron (a local freshwater crayfish). You can purchase your marron or trout direct from the farms or catch your own trout in the creeks, brooks and rivers. See Dave Evans at Forest Fresh Marron on Pumphill Road Pemberton for trout and marron.

Pemberton has become synonymous with fine wine. Wine Tours with a "bush flavour" are available all year, so visitors can sit back and relax while their "chauffer" takes them on a tour to some of Pembertons finest wineries.
